Hello! We’re the team for Fractured, a brand new play (and Edinburgh Fringe debut) for Bill Cashmore award winning writer Shona Graham.

The play is a 4 hander with multi roling. The part of Eva has already been cast, so we are looking for actors to play Rob/Hal, Paul/Hal, Talia/Mum.

We have an official partnership with the charity Mind. We’re crowdfunding to cover design costs and venue rental.

We’d love to work with actors with bases in London and Edinburgh, or London based actors who are already in Edinburgh for the festival, but looking to get involved in another project while they’re up.

Rob/ Hal

Content

Rob is a lost apathetic anarchist. Lackadaisical; defensive; hurt. Following turbulent teenage years Rob is trying to set his life straight, but is coming up against the slow realisation that starting off on the wrong foot has left him few places to go. He’s never left the town he grew up in and his friends are as aimless as he is. Unlike his sister Eva, Rob has made a sort of strange peace with his present and opts to lean into the chaos rather than fight it or fix it.

Hal is a criminal psychologist 30 years into his career, Hal could diagnose a patient in his sleep (and possibly has). Whilst he maintains a fascination with the human condition, Hal is assured enough in his competence at his job to give his clients space to reveal themselves fully. Hal has a very pleasant life that involves open water, going for lunch with his grown-up kids and dreaming about retiring in five years. Hal has empathy for Eva, the same as he does with everyone he works with, but has spent so much time on the job that she’s more like a sweet and interesting zoo animal.
